Ripe banana in liqueur form, from 1930s cocktail lists to the modern craft revival.
France, 19th century
Mentions of banana brandy go back to the 1850s; by the early 1900s French houses like Combier had shaped it into creme de banane.
Ripe bananas macerate in neutral spirit with sugar; Giffard purees overripe Brazilian fruit for its Banane du Bresil and finishes it with a touch of Cognac.
Baked banana and toffee with custard-thick sweetness; the better bottles taste flambeed rather than artificial.
Did you know
Banana cocktails are older than they sound: the Banana Bliss, Cognac with creme de banane, was on bar lists by the 1930s.
